Chapter 1902 Ingratiating Act

Nicole told Yuvan that she wasn’t a professional actress and wasn’t quite sure how to best handle the details either, so her opinion might not necessarily be accurate. For that reason, she even asked someone from the director team to come over and guide him.

While they were absorbed in their characters, Yuvan suddenly changed the script and fell to his knees with a thud, hugging Nicole’s legs tightly.

Not only was Nicole surprised by his action, but even the professional from the director team who was there to help found it too sudden.

The two of them froze in stunned silence, with Yuvan the only one reciting his lines according to the altered script in his mind.

“I was wrong, Mom! I misunderstood you all these years!”

Nicole was struck speechless for a while.

She felt that he was being too forceful in this as the character in the movie was a person who was reticent in expressing himself. In the original script, the character remained rooted to the spot as his body trembled slightly. The apology he wanted to say was supposed to remain stuck in his throat.

Therefore, she felt that it was best to listen to the professional from the director team as to how best to handle that part.

She bent down to pull Yuvan up. “Get up first. Don’t stay there.”

Mistakenly assuming that she was acting her part, Yuvan staunchly refused to get to his feet. He even vowed, “Mom, I’m never getting up if you don’t forgive me!”

Words failed Nicole for a second before she clarified, “No, Yuvan, why don’t we hear from the professional whether we should handle this part in such a manner? Do get up first.”

“I think this is just perfect!” Yuvan continued hugging her legs, not getting up nor releasing his hold.

At that, Nicole was truly speechless.

Why is he still so obstinate when his acting skills are abysmal?

“Have you had enough? Your acting skills are horrible, but your skill in taking advantage of people is superb!”

Suddenly, a mesmerizing male voice drifted over, snagging their attention.

Huh? Why is he here?

Surprise inundated Nicole.

Evan stalked over and pinned an icy gaze on Yuvan. “I’ll break your hands if you don’t let go!”

“What has it got to do with you when I’m rehearsing with my mother?” Yuvan retorted.

Hearing that, Evan sneered, “Your mother? Don’t address her thus, for we don’t have a son like you!”

Yuvan was startled before he exclaimed, “Oh, you’re my mother’s husband!” Then, he unceremoniously greeted, “Nice to meet you, Dad! I’m Yuvan Quinlan. I play Mom’s son in the movie, which means that I’m also your son!”

Having not expected him to greet Evan in such a manner, Nicole yanked at him. “Get up first.”

“Okay.”

Yuvan got to his feet and looked at Evan with a silly smile.

Evan likewise studied him, replaceing his countenance familiar as though he had seen him somewhere, yet he couldn’t recall it.

“Are we acquainted?” Evan queried tentatively.

Yuvan’s heart skipped a beat, and a flash of something flitted across his eyes. He then answered with a silly smile, “I don’t think so. I don’t remember ever seeing you.”

At his answer, Evan narrowed his ebony eyes a fraction. “Oh? Most people in Y City know me and have seen me on the financial channels, in magazines, or even on the trending list. Yet, you’ve never seen me?”

Yuvan shook his head in denial. “I’ve been out of town all these years and only just returned to Y City a few days ago. Besides, I’ve never paid much attention to the important figures and happenings in Y City. I’m sorry. However, I know you now! Ms. Lane is my mother, so I’m more than willing to call you ‘Dad’ if you don’t mind!”

Evan stared at him intently with a sharp gaze. A long moment later, he said that he had two sons and didn’t need another, so that was unnecessary.

“That’s true. You just said that you often appear on magazines, the trending list, and even the financial channels, so you’re likely some big shot. Someone like me indeed isn’t fit to address you as ‘Dad’.”

Yuvan lowered his head, looking a tad dejected.

Evan continued scrutinizing him, replaceing his ingratiating act all too obvious. There’s a reason for everything, so he must have a motive for doing so!

“Aren’t you worried that your biological father will be offended that you’re calling a stranger ‘Dad’?” Evan questioned.

“Nope! I’ve got no parents. I’m an orphan.”
